Annual Report 2008-2009
Design is truly the medium of change. It allows us to see a future we may not have thought possible—and to build it.
Architecture for Humanity
Annual Report 2008
This year Architecture for Humanity celebrates its 10th anniversary. What began as a simple idea to provide design services to communities in need has transformed into an international non-profit building change in dozens of countries. Cameron Sinclair Eternal Optimist Architecture for Humanity
Over the past decade Architecture for Humanity has become one of the world’s largest and most credible design organizations. Today, more than a quarter of a million people are living, teaching, healing and gathering in buildings designed by our design fellows, chapter members and volunteers. I am truly inspired by all the design professionals who come forward to dedicate their time and expertise where they are most urgently needed. Each project we undertake reaffirms my belief in the power of design to create a more sustainable future. In times of great need, solutions are needed more urgently than ever. Two-thirds of the world lives in sub-standard living conditions without access to clean water or sanitation. This requires new thinking - local solutions that can be adapted locally and globally. As we enter into our second decade we are embarking on our first ever capacity-building campaign. Through this campaign we in tend to double our budget and impact. Building capacity will help us expand our network, develop stronger online tools, better support our chapters, respond more quickly in times of great need and reach out to local builders around the world. Design is the ultimate renewable resource. Together, we can continue to build a better future.
Cheers,

Architecture for Humanity
Annual Report 2008
How We Work Design is important to every aspect of our lives. It informs the places in which we live, work, learn, heal and gather. We engage all stakeholders in the design process. We believe our clients are designers in their own right. Each year 10,000 people directly benefit from structures designed by Architecture for Humanity. Our advocacy, training and outreach programs impact an additional 50,000 people annually. We channel the resources of the global funding community to meaningful projects that make a difference locally. From conception to completion, we manage all aspects of the design and construction process. Our clients include community groups, aid organizations, housing developers, government agencies, corporate divisions, and foundations.
Through thoughtful, inclusive design we create lasting change in communities by focusing on the following practice areas:
Poverty Alleviation
Providing access to water, sanitation, power and essential services
Disaster Mitigation and Reconstruction Bringing safe shelter to communities prone to disaster and displaced populations
Post-Conflict Community Building Rebuilding community and creating neutral spaces for dialogue in post-conflict areas
Design for At-Risk Populations Creating spaces to meet the needs of those with disabilities and other at-risk populations
Addressing Climate Change
Reducing the footprint of the built environment and mitigating the effects of rapid urbanization in unplanned settlements

Architecture for Humanity
Annual Report 2008
The building was constructed using primarily Compressed Stabilized Earth Bricks, which are biodegradable, and non-polluting (very little energy is consumed in their production). The raw materials for the bricks are locally available and their production requires semi-skilled labor that is easily transportable and transferable providing work opportunities for community members.
Nadukupam Vangala Women’s Center
This multipurpose women’s community center was designed through handson design workshops with the community of Nadukupam that was devastated by the 2006 Southeast Asian Tsunami. The center serves as a safe meeting and skills-training space for women and is also a focal point of celebration and learning for the community. This is one of three women’s centers built in India.

Cyclone Nargis Rebuilding in Myanmar
Architecture for Humanity has supported a number of construction professionals in Myanmar and Thailand to assist with rebuilding efforts after Cyclone Nargis. Working with ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), a local design team has engaged in community design workshops in the village of Nyaung Wine to do preliminary site analysis and develop designs for several community structures. The primary goal is to elevate construction standards and incorporate green building with disaster mitigation techniques into existing buildings to prevent future destruction.

Design Fellowship Program
Architecture for Humanity
Annual Report 2008
Design Fellowship Program “The land we bought was literally ‘the site from hell.’ Architecture for Humanity’s design fellow managed to design classrooms that we will be able to replicate on any site. I really think it could be the best built school in rural Uganda.” — Carol Auld, Kutamba AIDS Orphans School, Bikongozo, Uganda
Design Fellow Profiles Design Fellows collaborate with communities to develop thoughtful, innovative design solutions to address urgent needs and see rough sketches all the way through construction. They volunteer their time and Architecture for Humanity provides support and mentoring to ensure that the experience is positive both for the design fellow and the community they serve. This program enables Architecture for Humanity to achieve its on-the-ground impact in communities around the world, expose emerging designers to challenging experiences in communitydriven architecture, and ensures our organization as a whole remains on the cutting edge of community development and good design.
Isaac Mugumbule, Designer Country_Kampala, Uganda Project_SIDAREC Project Location_Nairobi, Kenya I was looking for an opportunity where I could positively impact the lives of people using the knowledge and skills I have been equipped with over my years of study. Being a design fellow has been very rewarding and an eye opening experience. By interacting with individuals and communities as a whole I was able to see, share and experience the problems faced by the communities. As a design fellow, I always challenge myself to look for solutions or ideas when faced with a problem. The best part about being Architecture for Humanity design fellow is that I get to work with other dynamic individuals that have a similar drive and commitment to getting the job done.

Oana Stanescu, Designer Country_Resita, Romania Project_Football for Hope Location_Khayelitsha Township, Cape Town, South Africa I must say before this experience I couldn’t really imagine how a building could have an impact at a bigger scale. I was skeptical since I used to be on the opposite end and had witnessed many failed attempts to do this. But then you see the joy in the kids’ eyes in Khayelitsha when you tell them about the center and their excitement when you take the time to understand them. There is potential and determination to give these kids a purpose in life and keep them off the streets and give their parents hope that their kids are going to have it better. They are not skeptical but believe in our work. And when the first parent thanks you for simply being here, something shifts and your understanding of the responsibilities as an architect and human being come together. Not only can we make a difference, but it’s our responsibility to do so. No more hiding behind CAD! above right:

The space measures roughly 1.5 feet at the narrowest, 3.6 feet at the widest and 30 feet in length. The aim of this project was to create a new type of space for a family to live under better conditions and participate as micro entrepreneurs in the growing local informal economy. The space is comprised of living and sleeping quarters, and a food stand at the front facing the street. The design of the space uses natural light and ventilation, as well as alternative energy. The space was built using collected recycled and donated materials.

The mission of the Book Swap Community Library was to create a free reading destination in an environment that is casual and comfortable to children and parents, while contributing to the health of the community by recycling used children’s books and redistributing them to other families in the community.
AFH London worked with the national charity FareShare in support of their project to provide a new skills training center for people who face social or personal barriers to education and employability. The center is housed within a larger warehouse and is a thermally and acoustically sealed box with a deliberately protective, warm larch clad outer shell and a lighter inner core. The form, entrance ramp and cladding are all in response to very specific design issues but combine to create a unique and inviting space. Wherever possible, renewable resources have been used to develop the training centre.
